thanks Terry,

What you have been telling me is extremely helpful.

and if you cant tell i take very good care of my car, keep the miles low i only have like 23,000 on it and i have never raced it, and rarely get on it more than needed, so everything as far as drive train and clutch is in very good shape, the only thing is with adding a blower i worry about what you said, blowing my motor, though this is not my only car i don't have a lot of money coming in right now so i cannot afford any major problems. If adding a blower to my stock motor wont put too much stress on it, i may very well do that. and i forgot to tell you i have a completely new suspension lowering springs, Baer breaks, panhard bar and a few other minor handling mods. i hear people that add blowers without the breaking upgrades and handling accessories are extremely disappointed with the outcome of the car.

But yes everything said has been helpful, and i appreciate it.
You are in an Excellent position to add a Blower with normal boost.
And the cams I speak of are very streetable.
A bunch of my Buddies are running those cams as I am.
As far as added Stress on a stock engine adding a Blower.
Yes, any modification is going to do that to some degree.
But, Honestly, I have 27,000 Miles on my Bullitt and Zero-Problems.
So, the Blowers I have Posted are not anywhere near the Power Level I am running.
I don't think you will have any problems at all.
Is it Possible, Yes .....
Is it Likely, No !!!

Looks are A-OK, but there is no substitute for H/P (Horsepower).

You might find this Thread I did some time ago interesting.
I have had a lot of Vehicles and a lot of Fast Street Cars/Trucks.
Take a look and I think you will then know I speak from "Experience" on what I Say and Suggest.
